Poison or Protect by Gail Carriger

5.0

Gail Carriger does it again and I so very glad that she did! This novella follows Preshea Buss in her life after finishing school. She has gone through four husbands by now and has become the Mourning Star. Throughout these marriages, Preshea has learned that men will just take, no matter what.

The services Preshea has learned from finishing school have been contracted by a man who wishes to break up his daughter's relationship with a fortune hunter and to protect said man from an assassin as well. While at this house party though, she learns that there is a man that will not take, but what is she take his heart and breaks it? Preshea learns that there may be more to men, especially Scottish men.
